The Game

The highly successful game released by Artipia Games is getting a 3rd print!

The Pursuit of Happiness is a game designed by David Chircop and Adrian Abela, featuring artwork by Panayiotis Lyris, in which you take a character from birth and you live the life you always wanted. Using a worker-placement mechanism with time as your workers, you take on projects, you get jobs, you buy items, you establish relationships, you raise families. The possibilities are endless. How much will you be able to achieve in just one lifetime?

The Experiences Expansion

In The Pursuit of Happiness: Experiences expansion you get the chance to visit popular destinations and events around the world. It comes with a new Experiences board which provides space for the cards of the new Experiences Deck. You are also able now to dream of the things you would like to do in the future - the new Dream boards allow you to store cards of any type and fulfill them later on. Also, through this expansion, you get to have kids. Kids bring so much joy in your life but also require big sacrifices! Finally, Services are introduced, a new type of cards within the Item-Activities deck.

The Community Expansion

The Pursuit of Happiness: Community expansion introduces players to their local community. It comes with a new Community board which provides space for the cards of the new Community Deck, and also features a Popularity track. Through this expansion, players have the chance to engage in various community related events and choose their outcome, affecting their popularity within the community.

The expansion also comes with new Projects, Items, Activities, Jobs, Partners as well as material for a 5th player.

While the two expansions are 100% independent from each other, they are also 100% compatible with each other.

The Pursuit of Happiness Rulebooks:

Experiences Expansion (Available Soon)

The Pursuit of Happiness: Experiences expansion is scheduled for production at Germany's largest game manufacturer, ensuring high quality materials. Please note that the published product may have differences regarding sizes, quantities, colors and layout because of production limitations and/or adjustments. Please back this project only after taking this information into account.

Any stretch rewards generated through this campaign are not exclusive. They may be available to acquire in the future at an additional cost. Backers of this campaign will be receiving those rewards for free.

We expect to have the game shipped to backers within December 2019. Please keep in mind though, that there is always the chance of the production and handling process getting delayed for various reasons.

For the first time, we are finally able to offer faster shipping & tracking to all backers!

All orders will be shipped from Greece (EU member). If you have any concerns regarding customs and import taxes for large cost orders, please contact us at support[at]artipiagames.com and we will assist you on that.

Please note that you may be receiving the games/items you pledged for in more than one package.

During the pledge manager we will run after the campaign ends, you will be able to choose Essen Spiel 2019 Pick-up option in order to collect your game during Spiel 2019 fair (Essen, Germany, 24-27 Oct 2019) from Artipia Games booth. If you do so, but do not collect your pledge during the fair, you will be required to pay shipping fees to receive your pledge via mail.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Pursuit of Happiness: Experiences is scheduled to be released at Spiel 2019 in Essen-Germany in October 2019. Note that the only guaranteed way that you will be among the first to get the game, is to select the "Essen Spiel 2019 pick-up" option in the pledge manager. Since this is a Spiel 2019 release, several customers and retailers may purchase the game from the fair which means they will get it before our group shipment goes out to backers. However, the Stretch rewards will not be sold to retailers outside of this campaign.

Shipping costs will be collected after the campaign’s end, using a pledge manager. The calculation will be based on our past experience in previous campaigns’ fulfillment, taking into account our new faster shipping solution which also includes tracking information for all destinations!

The promo cards from our latest KS campaign "A Fair, a Robbery and a Promo Pack" are in the production stage.

VERSIONS
All items offered through this campaign are English versions. All texts are in English.

PRODUCTION RISKS
Items and colors shown in this campaign might differ in the final product due to supplier/manufacturer error. In addition, the production may get delayed due to various reasons. Supplier shortage, holiday traffic and weather conditions are just a few of examples. Artipia Games should not be held responsible for delays caused by third parties.

MISSING / DAMAGED ITEMS
If after receiving your whole order, there are missing/damaged items please inform us by sending an email at support[at]artipiagames.com including some photos of what was damaged. We will send you replacements for the missing/damaged items as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we are unable to send replacements for damaged inserts/trays.

UNDELIVERED ITEMS
We will re-send any packages returned to us undelivered after we will inform the backer. If a package was not delivered due to a backer's fault (wrong address given, backer didn't claim the delivered package from their post office, etc), we may request additional shipping fees to re-send the package.

DELIVERY DATE
Estimated delivery is December 2019. However third parties involved with the production of items needed to fulfill the campaign may cause unpredictable delays. Also, after sending the packages, further delays may occur due to your local customs and postal services traffic that are out of Artipia Games control. Please note that delivery dates that involve shipping refer to the month we expect to dispatch the items.

DELIVERY ADDRESS
After the campaign is over you will be requested to complete a survey and pledge manager including your shipping address. Please provide us a shipping address that will be valid around November 2018. If after filling the survey and pledge manager you wish to alter your shipping address, please send us a message at support[at]artipiagames.com.

ORDER FULFILLMENT
A while after the campaign ends you will get access to our pledge manager. Your order will get fulfilled only if you have completed the pledge manager before campaign fulfillment. Please note that due to weight limitations in the shipping methods we use, your order may be delivered in multiple packages. Even though all of your packages most probably will get shipped at the same time, there is always a chance they will arrive to you several days apart. This may occur due to each country's postal service sort-and-dispatch system.

REFUNDS
We generally do not offer refunds unless we are unable to deliver the project. We will not offer refunds because of delays in delivery or changes/adjustments to the game's components, layout etc. or for damaged components that we are able to replace. We will examine any request for a refund separately and may refund only the cases we feel the request for a refund is justified.

UPDATES
Through this campaign you may receive updates on Artipia Games’ other upcoming projects. Such updates will be rare.
